Barn aud Horses burned.


The barn on the farm of the late
James A. Hawthorne, about four
miles north of Morgantown, was
burned to the ground last Saturday
night week. The Ere was first dis.
covered about 20 o'clock at night and
had made such Roadway that very
few things in the barn were saved.
A quantity of grain, lot of farming
utensils and three horses were con
sumed. 1t is thought to have been
the work of an incendiary as no fire
had been about the building during
the day. The loss is 81 800 with no
insurance.

THE FRESHET.
HARRIET PRESCOTT SPOFFORD.
HdTDer's RQzdr


We had been engaged, Mark and |
since we were babies, so to say; thai
is, when he was still in knickerbOckers
and just ont of bibs, we had decided
that when we grew up and had house
of our own, it was to be our own, his
and mine, and there we were to live
together and live alone and if the
chief of our diet there was to be apple
tarts and butter that was OuI
own affair.
1t is thousand pities that it was
about that house that all the rout hap
pened. For the fact is, | had the
strongest sort of will, and so had
Mark and when it came to the point,
it wasn't that house at all that
= wanted.
For, you see, the spot where lived
down on the great meadow farms, was
my sole idea of the beauty and pleas
antness of the world. Across the riv-
er, with its high bank crowned with
feathery and always trembling and
shining brches, the hills rose, far and
faint and purple vague; but here
there were only the long green levels
of grass fields lying low and even with
the river that filled and sparkled i'm
the reeds along the edge, and flowed
by us broad and grand on its way to
the sea. And when the sun shOne and
the sky was blue, and the south wind
was softly blowing, one seemed as near
heaven, living there, as it is given one
to be Oh earth.
There were quite number of dwell
lighthouses here, where the corners of
several of the great river farms con-
nj hni a.,
stretched out in different directions,
the buildings clustered together like a
village aud we always came and
went freely in each others houses, and
knew each others concerns, and were
more like one large family than stran-
gers; and L loved my neighbOrs every
one, and didn't want to go away from
them. And when it came to the ques-
ton of marrying and going away,
was simply determined that | wouldn't
go away, but that Mark should come
down to this little garden of Eden,
where l knew every tint of the ripe
grass on the meadow, every sparkle of
the water, every fleece of cloud upon
the blue of heaven.
"And why not, Mark 2" | urged
"Here is this immense farm, a really
great property, and would you leave
p it to take care of itself, and we go to
live two miles away on your fathers
place, that bleak, lonesome rock up in
the air, shut in by a pine forest, like IA
great Fortress prison, real dun

Don't Use AniIine Ink.

During Gen. Grants term as presi-
dent one of his Cabinet officers discov-
cred that the records of an important
branch of one of the departments had
been for two years written in purple
ink. He at once issued an order for
bidding its use in the department., pur-
chased new set of books into which
two years. records were copied, and
thus saved what in a few years would
otherwise have been lost. 1t is one of
the problems of chemistry to find some
thing which will make permanent the
beautiful aniline colors, but thus far
all efforts have failed. 1t is growing
more and more the custom to have
deeds, contracts, and valuable docu-
ments printed on a typewriter in ami
line ink. This is great mistake, be
cause in few years they are sure to
be Obliterated.

prosperity of the state is directly in
volved in the question.
In the case at bar, the third and
fourth counts set forth. more particu-
larry, the methods adopted by the re-
spondents to interfere with the prose-
cution of its business by the Ryegate
Granite Works. They charge the re-
spondents with an intent to prevent
the prosecution of the work of that
company, by threatening O'ROurke,
GOOdfellOw and others, that the Rye
gate Granite Works were "scab shops"
and all workmen therein were "scabs, :"
and their names would be published
in the "scab list" of the Granite Cut
ters' Journal, and that they would be
stunned and not allowed to work with
other granite cutters, and would be
disgraced in the craft, etc.; by all
which O'Rourke, GOOdfellOw and 9th
ers, were frightened and driven away
from said shops.
The exposure of a legitimate bust
ness to the control of an association
that can order away it's employees, and
brighten away others that it may seek
to employ, and thus be compelled to
cease the further prosecution of its
work, is n condition of things utterly
at war with every principle of justice,
and every safeguard of protection that
citizens under our system of govern
ment are entitled to enjoy. The direct
tendency of such Intimidation is to es-
tablish over labor, and over all indus
tries, a control that is unknown to the
law and which is exerted by secret
association of conspirators that is &C
tuated solely by personal cOnsidera-
tions, and whose plans, carried into
execution, usually result in violence
and the destruction of property.
That evils exist in the relations of
capital and labor, and that workmen
have grievances that Oftentimes call
for relief, are facts that observing men
cannot deny. With such questions
we, as court, have no function to
discharge further than to say that the
remedy cannot be found in the boycott.

CONKLING's SHARP WORD.
A Shrewd Hint Thrown Out for tn
Republican Party.

A Shrewd Hint Thrown Out for the
Republican Party.
Pittsburg, Pa April %, 1887. ROs-
coe Conkling's letter, read at IA banquet
of the Americas Club last night, was
as follows:
NEW YORK, April 81, 1887.
Gentlemen Please receive my
thanks for your invitation to attend
the dinner to be given by the Ameri-
Gus Club of Pittsburg on the approach
ing anniversary of the birth of Gen.
Grant. A committee of the club did
me the honor some time ago, in per-
son, to invite me in most cordial and
agreeable terms. Reasons which for
several years have imposed abstinence
in all cases from political and other
public occasions compelled me to state
to the committee my inability to be
present, and | can but repeat that l
must deny myself the pleasure.
TO join in paying honor to the mem
DRY of man SO illustriOus and SO true
to his country and his friends, SO firm
set, so calm and enduring under calum-
ny, suffering, and sorrow, would be IL
mOurnful and grateful privilege. L
should feel at home in doing SO with
those who did not wait for the glOriti-
cation of his death to show them the
rugged grandeur of Grant or the hon
esty of his purposes, and his reverence
for the rights of every fellow creature.
The armies he led have disbanded,
never, [ trust, to reassemble i'll battle
array. The party he led to victories
victories, perhaps, not less useful than
those of war-has not disbanded,
though it may not have kept step in
the march of events. All who believ-
ed in it and strove for it would like to
see it resume the spirit, the prOwess
and the earnestness which made and
kept it great and useful and triumph
ant.
The survival of the fittest, among
the political organizations now asking
public confidence, might be realized 10y
the revival of the republican party,
providing it can discover the questions
deserving of attention, take the right
side of them, and then act up to its
convictions.
Some such thing may be considered
at your proposed dinner; it would
surely not be inappropriate to Grants
birthday. Indeed, one way in which
his countrymen may do homage to his
memory is to lay to heart such lessons
as his deeds, his words and his expo
rience have left us.
Trusting that the evening may be
full of profit, cordially your Obedient
servant Roscoe CONKIING
